Sincerely,

Dr. Alisa White

He started his career at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center and was inspired by physicians, researchers and administrators who gave him the opportunity and courage to grow professionally. He moved internationally and managed two hospitals in Costa Rica and Mexico

UNIVERSITY MACE

The University Mace is symbolic of the authority of the Board of Regents, The Texas State University System, and the Office of the President of Sam Houston State University. The senior tenured faculty member carries it during academic convocations. It was first used at summer commencement on August 20, 1988.

The mace was designed and hand crafted by the late Charles R. Jedlicka, Associate Professor of Industrial Technology. The crown is a circular casting bearing the name of the University and date of

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The academic costume worn at official functions today originated in the Middle Ages, when a warm gown and hood were useful to university scholars and clerics in unheated buildings. Through the years, the growth in the number of universities caused confusion about the proper regalia so a Code on Academic Costume was established. Today, The American Council on Education reviews and updates these traditions.

The four-sided mortarboard is recommended for both men and women. The cap is always black and should match the material of the robe.

Gowns are generally black. The bachelor’s gown is simple, with long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown will have either long sleeves with narrow wrist opening or long sleeves with the hand emerging from the sleeve at elbow length. The doctor’s gown is fullest in cut with velvet panels down the front and around the neck, as well as three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves.

Length of the hood represents degree level: the master’s hood is three and one-half feet long and the doctor’s hood is four feet long. The velvet trim on the edge of the hood is three inches wide for the master’s degree and five inches wide for the doctor’s degree. The color indicates the field of study. A color or pattern between the trim indicates the university awarding the degree.

establishment, 1879. The circle features the lone star, the state emblem, in the center. Names of past University presidents with their dates of service are engraved on the brass collar below the crown.

The walnut staff is bound in brass and has a hexagonal head with inlays of pecan for the state tree, recessed brass medallions cast with designs for General Sam Houston, Austin Hall, Old Main, Bearkats, and the completion date of the mace. The holder base or stall is six-sided to match the mace head.

BACCALAUREATE GRADUATION WITH SPECIAL RECOGNITION

To reflect their achievement, graduates who have earned undergraduate academic excellence receive a gold cord at graduation plus an appropriate notation on their academic transcript. The gold cord indicates one of the following academic achievements: Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Cum Laude,

Degrees conferred Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude reflect an outstanding grade point average with a minimum of 32 semester hours earned in residence (resident classroom instruction). The distinction and corresponding grade point averages are: Cum Laude 3.50 - 3.66; Magna Cum Laude 3.67 - 3.85; Summa Cum Laude 3.86 - 4.00.

The Department Academic Distinction Program is an individualized learning experience that provides qualified students with a comprehensive introduction to meaningful research under the guidance of a designated faculty advisor.

Participation in the Honors College is based on a competitive selection process and provides outstanding academic opportunities and distinct undergraduate college experiences. Upon successful completion of the requirements of the Honors College—24 semester hours of Honors courses and two special seminars—the student’s academic transcript will indicate graduation “With Honors” and the student may wear an Honors medallion with academic regalia. To be designated as having graduated “With Highest Honors,” the student must also successfully complete a special senior project involving original research and/or an effort of creative expression.

NOTE: Semester credit hours earned in correspondence courses are not considered “resident classroom instruction” hours and are not used in determining the minimum semester credit hour requirement for academic honors: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude, Dean’s List, and President’s Honor Roll. However, the semester credit hours and grade points earned for correspondence courses are included in the calculation of the overall grade point average.

VETERANS AND MILITARY MEMBERS

Sam Houston State University is proud to recognize graduating Veterans and military members with a specially designed veterans stole. The orange stole features camouflage tips bearing the SH logo on the right and the American flag with Veteran designation

on the left. On behalf of the entire Sam Houston State University community, President Alisa White and the SHSU Administrative Officers extend their deepest gratitude and congratulations to these distinguished graduates.

The scale represents the spirit of the Latin proverb, Jus est ars boni et aequi, Justice the art of the good and fair. The oak bough with 16 leaves symbolizes strength, while the olive branch with 20 leaves represents peace. The number of leaves recalls the year, 1620, when the pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, the first American political document, whose purpose was to preserve order by means of the principle of rule of law.

The simple shape represents a water droplet or the flicker of a flame. When duplicated, the droplet becomes a lotus flower bud symbolizing long life and purity, while growth is demonstrated by the progression from small to large. The final mark demonstrates the connection of organic and inorganic, moving beyond natural, suggesting science, digital and data. These are all direct representations of our mission.

The quill connotes the importance of creative endeavors while the ruler along the rooftops illustrates a concern with the scientific method. The arched lines represent communication and its wide-reaching effects, hovering over the home, which emphasizes the importance of human bonds and of the family’s formative role for the individual. Overlooking all of the other symbols are four face profiles representing the celebration of the diversity that strengthens each of the disciplines within the college.

COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE

DR. THOMAS J. MOHR, DEAN

DEGREES AWARDED IN OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE

Osteopathic Medicine DO

THE OSTEOPATHIC OATH

I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter.

I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgement and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery.

I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, nor engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it may be asked of me.

I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices.

I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathy which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still.
